Gaylord Bureau –
January 23, 2024 – 10:15 a.m.
Trails are still in fair shape, but you may start seeing some bare patches in spots. Temperatures are supposed to warm up this week and we’ll keep you posted on how this affects the trails. Check back for updates and trail conditions.
Please remember that groomers have the right of way and kindly move off the trail so they can safely proceed. If you approach a groomer from behind, the operator will signal when it’s safe for you to pass. Groomers are here to make your ride more enjoyable so please be courteous!
As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports.

Squishy snow, not what we want to feel and its supposed to continue on the uphill temps for the next couple of days. Its 11:30 on tuesday and up to 27 right now, Light snow flakes in the air. There were some sleds out and about yesterday and still reporting o.k.. riding. Snirt is showing more and more. I see there are two sleds over at the Swamp right now. It looks like I am going to pass on riding this week. Lets hope some cold weather comes back. I brought my plow truck in the back room to let it thaw out. The old thing has pushed alot of snow in the past week or so.I am going to take the same angle parking lot picture each morning to see how it looks. Compare todays to yesterdays. Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Swamp II Bar & Restaurant in Frederic MI >> We got Riders! And Fish Fry Friday with Salad Bar! #frederic #gaylord #snowphotos
FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Frosty and crunchy at 4 degrees on friday morning in Frederic, I saw the groomer heading out on 47 trail by the high school and 2 sleds right at that corner too. Already been several sleds in this morning and I made an early trip to the Sled Shed to get me some carbides for my ski doo. Those carbides have been on back order all season and I got the last set of 6 inch from Sled Shed. I wanted to make sure I get to ride again. I am happy to say that several riders told me that all trails they were on were well groomed. That is good to hear. The OSSA group were in here yesterday afternoon and they are staying up in Gaylord this year and at least we have great snow this year. Thanks Gary Hines for stopping in with everyone. Already sold the 4 pair of Gauntlets that I had this morning. My frederic-mi.com site is messed up again and Rebecca is on that. I was bummed to see the guys that were winter camping in my back lot left last night. I thought they were staying thru the weekend. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Dangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning. Wind chills in the 20s below zero; some areas could feel as cold as -30F. This will be dangerous, as frostbite can develop in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin. Limit time outdoors and dress in layers. Keep a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded.
Gusty northwest winds plus continued powdery lake effect snow will lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through this afternoon, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, and wind chills well below zero will be even more problematic if you end up stranded on the road. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyDangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning.
